@koendb nice job. As for a router planer jig there are a lot of examples of both diy ones and shop bought ones in the internet. Design is pretty much standard across them all. Someone did post one the...

Posted by: @ Not sure if that steam generator would be hot enough, I have one but unless there is something wrong with it ,just doesn't produce enough heat to enable a easier bend .

Attachment : steppedplates.jpg Today's offering is the front and back (planed to 17mm thick) with the perimeter reduced to 5mm using my router in a stand and carefully running the edge past the bl...

The carbon truss rod is purely a stiffener 4mm wide x 7mm deep as I am unsure of the potential for elm to flex even in a short length. I am thinking about 22mm thickness at the nut as well . Too much ...

@boo It certainly jumps out from the screen

I then would rather keep the black scratch plate with white pickups and accents or perhaps cream ones, @koendb I can see that working too. I just find that the black knobs and pickups on the black sc...

@boo The choice between black and white is a hard one. Usually I don’t like anything white but the scratch plate and chrome looks good. I also like the black and that’s the one I would choose.

A pleasure to watch @clinton. 👍😁 🙏🎸🙂🎶

@jmcmi93888 Nice work, is the truss rod in a neck that short simply a static bar or can you actually get an adjustable truss rod that size?

@jmcmi93888 looking good. Slow is good (fast too) 🙂

Attachment : plates.jpg Progress has been slow. I now have the back and front plates planed and bookmatched as best as I can given the fairly open grain. Attachment : neck.jpg Also the neck...

Attachment : sides1.jpg After a lot of cutting of more bits of the log to get the right grain direction, I cut 3 slices about 6mm thick x 70mm wide to be the sides. I then planed them down to abou...

Wow @jmcmi93888! That is definitely doing it the hard way, great job!

@jmcmi93888 Top marks for doing it the hard way. I did that years ago with setting and sharpening a hand saw converting it to rip. I only did it once, never again.

Attachment : elm.jpg The log. The design was based on lots of looking at you tubes and drawings and photos until I was confident (?) about scale lengths body sizes widths etc. having concluded tha...

Looking forward to seeing this one John. Same here ! 🙂
